- Extra Details:
- Alpha-synuclein (A Alpha-synuclein), encoded by the SNCA gene, is a neuronal protein central to synaptic vesicle regulation and neurotransmitter release. Its misfolding and aggregation are key pathological features of Parkinson's disease and other synucleinopathies. The E114C mutation introduces a cysteine residue at position 114, enabling site-specific chemical labeling without significantly altering the protein's native structure. This engineered variant retains the functional domains of wild-type A Alpha-synuclein, making it a versatile tool for probing molecular mechanisms of aggregation and toxicity. The alpha-synuclein (aSyn) E114C mutation facilitates a single site-specific conjugation with ATTO-488 maleimide that avoids any hindrance on fibrilization or cell entry that may be conferred by non-specific lysine targeting conjugations. This conjugation is ideal due to internal position relative to C-terminal truncation sites, proximity to the NAC, and lack of interference with recruitment in vitro or in primary neurons (1, 2). Pre-formed fibrils (PFFs) generated with 5-25% fluorescently tagged E114C mutants have demonstrated a relative potency >80% compared to wild-type aSyn for inducing misfolding of endogenous aSyn, indicating no significant perturbation of seeding in living cells (1). ATTO-488 is a useful tool for identifying cell entry, as the addition of Trypan Blue to cultures prior to imaging will quench fluorescence of extracellular ATTO-488 conjugated aSyn (3). StressMarq's aSyn E114C-ATTO-488 PFFs, which are formed from 10% fluorescently tagged E114C mutants and 90% wild-type monomers, are an excellent tool for studying cell entry and localization, with demonstrated entry into neurons after trypan blue quenching.
